Patented July 11, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.

This invention relates to a remoting attachment for use in connectionwith cotton gins, the primary object of the invention being to providemeans for removing the cotton from the gin and carrying the cotton on tothe press.

An important object of the invention is to provide a device of thischaracter which may be readily and easily attached to a gin, between thegin stand and lint flue thereof, without the necessity of makingextensive alterations in the gin construction, to install theattachment.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein described, may be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through a remoting attachmentconstructed in accordance with the invention, showing the attachment asconnected with a gin.

Figure 2 is a fragmental sectional view through a remoting attachmentwherein a brush is used in removing the cotton from the carding belt.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 designatesa gin frame, in which the gin saws 6 operate, the gin saws acting tocarry the cotton through the gin, during the ginning operation.

The attachment, forming the essence of the present invention, includes amain hollow body portion or casing l in which the pulleys 8 operate, andover which the carding belt 9 moves, the teeth of the carding belt 9being so arranged that they will pick up the cotton delivered to thebody portion, through the spout l0, carrying the cotton through theattachment.

The reference character I I designates the dust and mote flue, whichcommunicates with the body portion 7, through the pipe l2.

The reference character l3 designates a tube which is in communicationwith the space adjacent to the carding belt, through the pipe 14 whichdirects air against the curved end portion l5 so arranged that the blastof air will be directed in the direction of travel of the carding belt.

The lint flue is indicated by the reference character [6 and as shown,is in communication with the body portion 1, through the pipe [1, shownas opening into the body portion.

The attachment is mounted on the base [8 to the end that the device maybe readily installed in connection with the usual gin, by extending thechute l0 thereof to a position as shown by the drawing, wherein the openouter end of the chute is disposed adjacent to the gin saws 6.

Since the attachment has connection with the gin at the point where theusual lint flue attaches, it will be seen that the cotton from the ginwill enter the attachment and be carried forward by air and the cardingbelt, to the point where the cotton is remoted, the remoted cottonpassing through the dust and mote flue I I, while the lint is carried toa position over one end of the pipe H, where it is driven through the1int flue I6.

In the form of the invention as shown by Figure 2 of the drawing, thebody portion of the attachment is indicated by the reference character20, in which the carding belt 2| operates, the carding belt operating tocarry the cotton through the body portion 1, in the usual and well knownmanner. Communicating with the body portion 1, is the mote flue 22 whichacts to remove the mote and dust from the cotton.

In this form of the invention a brush 23 is employed in contacting thecarding belt to remove the cotton therefrom, the cotton being driventhrough the pipe 24 and lint flue 25.

I claim:

1. A remoting attachment for gins, comprising a body portion, a cardingbelt operating in the body portion, a spout extending into the bodyportion, a dust and mote flue at one end of the spout and adapted toreceive material from the spout, means for directing a blast of air tothe body portion, at a point adjacent to the carding belt, and a lintflue in communication with the body portion for removing lint from themachine.

2. A remoting attachment for gins, comprising a body portion, a cardingbelt operating through the body portion and adapted to carry cottonthrough the body portion, a dust and mote flue adapted to receivematerial from the carding belt, and a 1int flue communicating with thebody portion and adapted to receive materia1 from the body portion at apoint below the dust and mote flue.

3. A remoting attachment for gins, comprising a body portion, a cardingbelt operating through the body portion and adapted to carry cottonthrough the body portion, a dust and mote flue near the discharge end ofthe body portion, a pipe connecting the dust and mote flue with the bodyportion, a downwardly curved end portion forming a part of the lastmentioned pipe, a pipe for directing an air blast against the downwardlycurved end of the latter pipe, and said curved end adapted to direct airagainst the carding belt in the direction of travel of the carding belt.
